The King's Beloved Empress
Episode 13 (In revision)

Dating that time makes Maya and Erick get a new experience. Erick could tell a lot of places Maya introduced him. Maya is also more cheerful than usual. They even had time to eat together without feeling awkward, but unfortunately they can only spend a little time because Erick has a lot of busyness. But that was enough to make Maya happy.

Today was Ellen's engagement day she didn't want. But he was ready to face it.

Finally Ellen was able to see the cold man's look again. Aldrich carries so many luxury items as dowries. The engagement took place quickly and Ellen was relieved that the show was not as complicated as she had imagined.

The reason Aldrich wanted to get engaged first, was because he had to fight to another country. He thought if he were to directly marry Ellen, it would look very unkind since he would instantly leave his wife to fight as a newlywed.

Aldrich told his mother and her mother delivered it to Mrs Ziane. Of course Lady Ziane had told Ellen, but Ellen did not care about it because she did not want a marriage with the King.

Aldrich also had no intention of having a life partner if there was no such thing as a curse from a witch. Living alone is much better than taking care of others again.

During the engagement, the two new couples did not say much. Aldrich only delivered one message that he would go to war for 1 month. After 1 month, they will get married.

"Hey, said you could shoot?"Aldrich suddenly asked Ellen who was still accompanying him.

"Yes His highness. I can, but not yet so good."Answer Ellen.

"Try showing me how to shoot you."Aldrich.

"Your Majesty..."Ellen could only obey.

Ck, why doesn't he just go home?

Ellen drove Aldrich to the archery. Upon arriving there, Ellen was given an archer's device and she began preparing to shoot towards the target.

The circle board that was a bit far from his front was what would be his target. There are 4 colors, namely black, blue, red and yellow.

Ellen stuck her arrow in red. That means he got an 8 out of 10. Ellen at least felt a little proud because her arrow was about to stick towards the yellow.

Aldrich just silently watched. Rather than feeling awkward herself, Ellen tried archery several times. But the result remains in red. Aldrich smiled a little maybe because he felt funny? Unfortunately the faint smile could not be seen Ellen who had not given up firing her arrow at the target.

Ellen started to get upset because she could not yet direct her arrow to the yellow color. Eventually Aldrich intervened to teach the girl how.

Aldrich's body suddenly approached Ellen so that Ellen was in shock. Ellen tried to remain calm so that the King would not be offended.

His heart began to beat uncontrollably. His hand that was still holding the bow even to the point of shaking and Aldrich noticed. Aldrich tried to hold back the laughter of seeing his fiancee's seemingly groggy behavior as her body stuck to Ellen's back.

"Let me teach you that the arrow can be yellow."Aldrich. She held Ellen's hand to adjust her hand to hold the bow properly in order to shoot on target. And Ctas! The arrow hit the yellow color.

Ellen, who had shot him, did not know what to react to.

"I'll show you the expert of a real archer."Aldrich said holding another prepared bow.

Ctas! Ellen gawked as Aldrich shot his arrow through hers. He could not believe seeing his arrow split in two.

"Ba...how do you do your Majesty?"Ellen asked still in disbelief.

"Hm, it's easy. You just have to focus more."Aldrich said then he put the bow into place. It seemed that the King was about to prepare to leave the castle.

"You..have you left, Your Majesty?"Ellen asked following Aldrich's walking back.

"Ah, so is your honor. I hope...You won the battle and you're still fine when you get there..."Ellen said in a soft tone because she was so embarrassed when delivering the message she thought was cheesy.

Aldrich just kept silent not responding. But behind Ellen, she smiled faintly indicating that she was happy.

After Aldrich left the castle, Ellen went straight to her room. He feels so tired. Luckily, there was Maya who had prepared everything.

"You seem very tired Miss."Maya sees Ellen's face.

"Yes, you're right...That king really made me quickly spend my energy. Such a stiff carry makes me breathless when I'm with him!"Complain Ellen.

"Haha, Miss is there. I can only congratulate you and His Majesty the King for being engaged."Maya.

Ellen did not respond. He was silent because he suddenly thought as Aldrich approached him and taught him how to shoot. He shook his head trying to throw away that thought.

Argh, what am I thinking anyway??

"Are you okay, Miss?"Maya asks seeing Ellen's more outlandish reaction than usual.

"Yes, I'm fine! Now I'm gonna take a shower!"Ellen moved from her seat and started walking towards the bathroom.

Maya follows Nonanya because she usually helps Ellen.

"Maya, can you not accompany me this time in the bathroom? I want to be alone now."Ellen.

Maya immediately stopped her steps and she was so confused.

"Why Miss?"

"It's okay. Don't worry about me. You better get my nightgown ready."

"Oh, well Miss. If you need me, call me Miss? I'm not leaving this room until Miss is done."Say Maya again.

Ellen just nodded then walked into the bathroom. He immersed himself in a tub of warm water to ponder.

What am I supposed to do? I had intended not to love that man according to the novel. I don't want to end up tragically like the main character...

While at the palace, the King began to prepare everything he needed to leave before dawn. He himself had not been able to release his thoughts from the girl.

What exactly am I thinking? Why did I help teach this woman everything? Haah, it seems like I've been a little stressed lately.

Aldrich even tried to throw his mind off the girl. They both do not want to admit or even understand their own feelings.

While Erick and Maya, they have begun to realize their feelings. Erick did not stop smiling when he thought of Maya smiling sweetly at him as well as Maya.

John at the palace contemplated himself having heard that Ellen was engaged. Carol lately likes to vent her anger on her servants. I don't know what happened to that girl.

And Viona, her resentment is likely to be even greater towards everything she's faced with. He hated his mother who always tortured him. Not to mention, she would marry a King she did not love at all.

Seriate.
